6 Usually there are better ways to trigger rebuilds. For example, slot
7 operator dependencies for rebuilds due to subslot changes, and
8 --newuse for USE changes. For live-rebuild, it would be much nicer to
9 have a framework that automatically triggers rebuilds when upstream
10 changes are detected, like smart-live-rebuild. We can add EAPI/PMS
11 extensions that allow package managers to do what smart-live-rebuild
12 does.
